Joan was a member of Hagerstown Bible Church and enjoyed teaching Sunday School, singing in the choir, playing the piano and the organ, and she also sang in a gospel quartet. She worked at Dorbee Sewing Factory, Fairchild, played the organ for Osborne Funeral Home, and for many years ran Candlelight Inn Bed & Breakfast out of her home.

Joan loved spending time with her family at the farm, in the kitchen, sitting on the porch, or wherever. She enjoyed taking the golf cart down in the field to watch the birds and animals. She always marveled at God's masterpiece sunsets. She loved sewing and painting crafts and was a vendor at many craft shows where she loved meeting people. We will always remember her beautiful smile.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, August 16, 2025 from 10:00am to 11:00am at Minnich Funeral Home, 415 E. Wilson Blvd, Hagerstown, MD with the memorial service directly following at 11:00am with Rev. Dale Carver officiating.
